So IMDB says this movie is already out in Kuwait.

No Kuwaiti reviews?

e: Holy poo poo I just checked the opening week showtimes at my local and they're barely even bothering to show it. Not a single showing in either of the two fancier screens, one 3D screening and one 2D screening per day. That's pathetic even if they failed to build the required hype.

Where's your local?

Warcraft: The Beginning has cool and chaotic fight scenes, all packed into a mix of superb CGI animation and live characters and environments. Subtle filmmaking it is not, but Warcraft never was going to be anything but a hard-hitting, effect-laden fantasy film.

Great write up with Duncan Jones and going through making this movie with your wife getting a double mastectomy then your dad dying and now his wife is about to give birth. :)

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/29/movies/duncan-jones-bowies-son-on-making-warcraft-and-facing-his-own-battles.html?login=email

quote:

“Warcraft,” which carries a costly price tag and faces steep competition at the summer box office, has been flagged as one of the summer’s riskiest releases by trade publications like The Hollywood Reporter.

But Mr. Jones earned praise from his cast members for never being overwhelmed by the scope of the film, which required a lot of on-set imagination to fill in characters and settings that were added months later.

“There’s times where we’re all lined up and you have to ask him, ‘Where are we, and where are we going?’” said Travis Fimmel (a star of TV’s “Vikings” and the film “Maggie’s Plan”), who plays the film’s human hero, Anduin Lothar. “You just have no idea. Duncan just had every answer. He’d spent so long preparing that he had the whole film in his head already.”

Toby Kebbell, who plays the orc Durotan, a tribal leader and father to be, said he was surprised to find that Mr. Jones, beneath a pleasantly rumpled exterior, has the desire to be a director on the scale of James Cameron or Peter Jackson.

“Anyone who comes into that category is absolutely a lion,” Mr. Kebbell said. “The ambition is something to respect. I think it’s wonderful that someone we all thought was going to be lo-fi has actually got the ability to take a genre piece, make it fun, keep it entertaining and choke you up.”

quote:

Mr. Jones said that his father, an avid fan of fantasy and science fiction (and a star of films like “Labyrinth”) had been encouraging of “Warcraft.”

“I showed him an early, early cut of the film,” Mr. Jones said, “and he was very excited for me, and was pretty amazed about how we achieved some of the visuals. I took him through how we did some things.

“It’s always nerve-racking, showing your parents things you’ve been working on,” he added. “But he loved ‘Moon,’ and he loved ‘Source Code.’

“He’s always been incredibly supportive,” Mr. Jones said, using the present tense.

Saw this headline on Endgadget;

"Can 'Warcraft' break the curse of the video game movie?"

Went to Rotten Tomatoes and saw it's at 19% two weeks before it even comes out.

Curse remains unbroken.

Start the parade! Start the parade! Rotten Tomatoes agrees with me!

Some people speculate that because Euro Cup starts on June 10th that the country is devoted to watching soccer non-stop so it would be a bad time to release something like this.

Speaking of ruining careers, let's hope The Guy From Vikings never gets cast in anything ever again after this movie.

He made me stop watching Vikings (it went to poo poo for me in season 2 and I never went back) and pretty much brings this movie down as well in all the previews.

I liked this movie a lot after seeing it tonight too. It's better than it has any right to be but I'm glad I wasn't let down. As it's been said a million times I loved the orcs . They were all perfect and characterized well. And the little cameos by the other warlords was nice for fans. :)

Surprisingly Garona was not cringe worthy. If anything, the way they handled all the women characters, nth background and main was great. Drama was great and had good chemistry. And all the warrior Orc women kicked rear end.

As expected tho, Fimmel dragged this thing down. He's loving terrible and just doesn't fit in. Anytime he spoke it took me right out the movie.

I think this will appeal to anyone tho - you really can go in knowing nothing of the lore. Orcs wanna break thru cause their world has gone to poo poo. Humans fight back. Done.

Great movie.

What was so confusing tho? I think your knowledge of the lore and then thinking other people won't understand is clouding your judgement.

MiddleOne posted:

Not to mention that it would have to be one mess of a movie. The two separate campaigns can't really be merged into one movie and hell the human campaign almost has too much going on already to be adapted. You have the orcs, cult of the damned, Stratholme, boat burning, Frostmourne hunting and the final battle that will somehow have to be mashed into 2 hours. It would make the Hobbit seem well paced by comparison.

You don't need to tell all that and it can just be based on things.

There is a undead problem, they go hunting for Frostmourne, Arthas gets corrupted and fucks things up (I haven't played WC3 in years, I have no idea of the minutiae of the story).

The best character was the mage at the funeral of the King . Dude looks legit braindamaged.

Was that the one who goes, "It never did that before"?

I think the movie could have benefited from more comedy like that... by people who could actually deliver funny lines... people not named Travis Fimmel or Ben Schnetzer.
